Email from David Jason

It’s in addition to the huge amount of comments we have already seen from the fans on this site.

Certainly it reveals how deeply John Sullivan touch the great actors he worked with. For anyone who missed the recent BBC tribute to John Sullivan it was very obvious what a genuis writer John Sullivan was and is quite rightly regarded.

I heard about John’s death whilst on holiday in Florida and so driving back through Miami brought back all the memories of Miami Twice and the fun we’d had over there. Then to get back to the UK and see so many wonderful tributes in the press, brought it home again to me what a great friend I had lost. Being at his funeral was like being in the wrong scene in the wrong script – it shouldn’t have been happening. What a sad, sad day for his family, his friends, the entire cast and crew of Only Fools, not to mention the other shows he had so skilfully crafted.

Thanks for all the laughs John.

You really made a difference to our lives.

Sir David Jason

The funeral took place last Thursday for the Sullivan family along with very close friends

Perry attended and informed me it was a very private affair really and very moving – He managed to spend about 10 mins with David Jason – we was on top form – all the cast were there.

It wasn’t appropriate to ask if anything else was written on Rock & Chips, but of course this is a question many fans will have on there minds in the months ahead.

Dear Sir David Jason….
Only Fools and Horses I love so much as it been Written by John very well.. Thank you for Doing the loveable spiff Del Boy because it reminds of man I knew growning up called Ron who was a right jack the lad as he was into hooky goods and a right wheeler dealer , but he was harmless really lol
The late Roger Lloyd pack Played ”Trigger” Very well and I had respected for him for playing the idiot very well when he called Rodney ” Dave” ….
John was such a talent writter making sitcom about London’s Spiffs who were trying to make a fast buck or too….
I have Only fools and horses on dvd and when I had a bad day I put one one to cheer me up and they do the job well.

I have a special wish and I just want to make my boyfriend happy, with things that are not material and can not be by with money.

My boyfriend is a big fan of Sir David Jason and series Only Fools And Horses. I would like to do something special for him, I know I’m asking a lot, but is it possible that Mr. Jason shoot a short video clip where Sir Jason will mention his name?

We every night before bed, we watch episodes of the series Only Fools And Horses, and that’s my routine the last eight months. On the last 10 years, my boyfriend is every night playing the other episode and can not sleep untill he watch the series…

So my question is, how can I contact Sir David Jason and ask him to shoot a short video and send it to the my email address and I’ll send you his reaction back to the video of Sir David Jason.

It might be a bit of an ask as he receives thousands of requests probably similar to yours. I did hear once that he recorded a message as Del Boy, to somebody very poorly. Can’t verifiy if this is true or not. I would not get your hopes up.

Only Fool’s and Horses is a great sitcom as I have always fine these
Funny because You Act Del Boy very well in the series ….

I think you’ll find most (all) writers will not read other peoples (fans) scripts and for a very simple reason – if John had read it and then years later wrote something similar they have a whole copyright issue on their hands – even if it sticks in a writers mind and they write sometime innocently and subconsciously – you would say ‘hang on that was my idea’ – so writers NEVER read scripts because of that – its the world we live in
